I bought a checkering tool kit, to try and teach myself checkering...I learned it wasn't my thing. The tools were 18 Tpi...kind of the 'average' checkering on a rifle stock.
I hope that helps.

my 2¢
4350 is kind of a slow burning powder for 765x54 or 308, unless you are working up to jacketed speeds.
